A Great Ball of Magnetism.

Most well informed people are doubtless aware that the globe on whick they live is great ball of magnetism, DNt compara- lively few have an adequate idea of the influence this property is continually ex- ertlng on all sides, that many common but lneXplicable phenomena can be traced directly to this source. Statistics 20 to show that in the matter of steel rails, as many as thirteen will become crystallized and break where they go to make up a railroad track running east and west be- fore one of those on north and south track is similarly affected. This is en- tirely due to the magnetism generated by friction, and the fact that the polarity of the magnetic current is in the former in- stance resisted in the headlong rush of the train, whereas in the latter case it is un- disturbed.
 Another strange effect of this peculiar and occult force is that exerted on the watches of train men. A timepiece car rled by the conductor running train twenty miles an hour, however accurate 1t may be, will if the speed of the train is increased to say fifty miles, become use less until regulated. The magnetism generated by the flight of a train may be said to be in proportion to the speed with which it is propelled, and the delicate parts of watch, numbering all the way from 400 to 1000 pieces, and peculiarly susceptible to th& influence by reason of the hammering and polishing they have received, are not slow to feel the effect GlobeDemocrat.

The Great Iron Kings Heir.

Frederick Alfred Krupp, son and heir of the great iron king who died recently, has issued this address, to his men at Essen: "To the officials and workmen of my steel works: On my return from the tomb of my never to be forgotten father, take the first opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to all for the last honors rendered to the departed in escorting his remains to their last resting place and for the touching sympathy shown me in my bereavement. This sympathy is to me a proof of the faithful attachment to my father and a great consolation in my pro found grief. It fills me with confidence that every one of you within his sphere in remembrance of him who is no more, will assist me in performing the duties de- volved on me, thereby contributing to the maintenance of the reputation which the establishment has attained by the energy and under the direction of my late father. On my part shall consider it 8 sacred duty to go on working after the example and ill the spirit of the deceased, and, like him, shall deem it my first care to look after the welfare of the officials and work men of the establishment. n-Boston Tran script.

White Swe1Iiur.


 Mir. M. s. Halnlin, one of the best known insurance men in North Carolina, writes from Winston, as follows Ever since I was seven years of age I have had what the doctors call hip disease, and which I call white swelling. My hip was drawn out of place. There was a swelling at the kneejoint, where there is profuse run- ming, which has been there for years. Of course this has greatly depleted my sys- tenn, together with surgical operation on the leg bone. tried every known blood purifier to build up my system, but none did me good until took s. S. s.

Protecting Watches from Electricity

1.-The electric railroads are magnetizing great many watches,'' said 8 jeweler "The watches become as thoroughly mag netized as though brought within the range of adynamo,. Here are three watches sent to me from Scranton, Pa., to be de- magnetized. The jeweler that sent them said he had thirty-five in the same condi- tiOnn
 "Can they be made to resist the infiu- ence of the electricity?" ventured re- porter.
 "Oh, yes. If we put in shield made for the purpose they are all right. This is the way it works.''
 The jeweler took an ordinary watch cover, put 8 steel pen in it and moved Q magnet on the outside of the cover. The pen followed the movements of the mag net. He did the same with pen in one of the shields, but the magnet was power less.
 ''In some of the finer watches we put a double shield, :" he continued, land plate over the dial. We protected 8 watch for Vice President c. E. Chinnock, of the Edi- son company. He used it two years while superintendent in their place in Pearl street, and walked between two big dyna- mos with it without the watch being dis turbed. Those dynamos are the largest HI OAO "OAAN, AOO AOASc pOW0T CdCL, dklCl each will lift 4,OOO pounds. They took an umbrella right away fyom me-"
 "Has there been any particular disturb ance of watches this summer?''
 "It has been very great. The electri- cal condition of the atmosphere this season has doubled the business in mainsprings. More mainsprings have been broken than has ever been known before. Nearly all the watches taken in for repairs this season have had broken mainsprings"
 '!Is the effect of the electric railways general?'
 Every watch carried on an electric railway will be magnetized unless it has a shield. Every lever on an ordinary en- zine is magnet of itself by reason of the earth's inductive force. Many railroad companies require their engineers and conductors to have their watches pro- tected by shields, much of the trouble of watches being out of time resulting in accidents is due to this cause.

Thomas Jefferson's Violin.

An untoward accident hastened the work on the new homestead. On Feb. 1, 177O, the family house at ShadwelI was burn ed. Nearly all it's contents were also destroyed, the principal loss in Jefferson s eyes being his papers &nd books, which latter he estimated at $1, ,O00 cost value. Not only his law books, but his records and notes of eases he had prepared for court, everything in the shape of written memoranda, except the ''garden book" the preservation of which was long 1fn- known, went up in flame.

 1T am, indeed; but what have my un- derclothes to do with that? I have always worn the same kind in summer.n
 ''SO does almost every one. The use of linen and cotton for underwear is one of the commonest of all errors in this coun- try. Now in Germany we have move ment which is called the German school of clothing reform. It aims to replace cotton and linen with woolen goods. There are many reasons why this should be done. Wool exercises 8 stimulating effect upon the skin, unlike. linen and cotton, and consequently promotes the proper action of the pores, glands and
 
 of heat and preserves the normal temper ature of the body It allows freer es- cape of the precipitation, and thus lowers, by evaporation, any abnormal tempera- ture of the body, and facilitates the loss of excessive heat. Also, through it's non- conductivity of heat, it preserves the normal measure of warmth. Hence it is Q better protection against the extremes of either heat or cold than linen or cOtton.''
 ''Well, those certainly do seem to be reasons enough"
 ."IndeeQ they are, but they are not all. Wool is electrical, while linen and cotton are not. Wool can excite electricity, but does not conduct it. Therefore body clothed in wool loses less of it's ami nal electricity, while fresh electricity is excited on the surface The intimate relationship between galvanic, nervous and vital forces render this peculiarity of the greatest importance to the wearer.''
 'Why doesn't every one wear wool then?''
 Because" answered the physician, "the old idea of having something f1umsy and gauzy next to the flesh is too firmly instilIed in the minds of the manufac- turers of underwear for them to experi- a large number of sick men of seemingly incurable disorders by simply prescribing d change in their underwear. While it is not an infallible cure all, ," added the phy- sician in conclusion, Git certainly is of much benefit, and it's general adoption would result in great permanent good"

ring the day people go to the Capitol. listen to

at night they edify their associates with de-
tailed accounts of what has happened and con-
lectures to what will follow.
Then there are the devotees of society old and
young. men and women, who are sure of being

official courteses are obligatory, and from faith
fully observing these officials widen tho range

to which the official set must be invited, and
many others who included in the favored

residence, that of the President is the
problem hardest to solve. Where to draw the
line is question that has given more than
entertainer cause TO worry; though the invita-
tons may have reached the thousands, the

modate the hundreds. In notable instance
something had to be done The White House,

by Illness some serious trouble. The
state dinners. as the Presidents dinners are
termed, the most distinguished affairs of
social character at the capital Some of them
have been unsurpassed in any country in ele-

of menu. At receptions in the White House
brilliant lights, superb floral decorations. music
by the Marine band. lovely in grand
toilets, gentlemen weighted with honors, and
the sparkling conversation and merry spirits of
such a company make up the attractions. Re-
freshments rarely offered on such occasions,
to the dire disappointment of vivants. Our
earlier Presidents spread bounteous feasts
such occasions But after the dsgraceful scenes
enacted on the occasion of President Jackson's
inauguration the eating and the drinking for
such receptions have been wisely abandoned.
